Lev Vygotsky


Lev Vygotsky was a Russian national psychologist who was born on November 17, 1896. He is one of the leading psychologists in the field of developmental psychology and also founded historical-cultural psychology. However, it has only been possible since 1960 to know the work of this psychologist around the world, since translations into different languages were previously based on what was permitted by the Soviet regime.
His work is based on topics such as: the origin and development of higher mental functions, philosophy of science, the relationship between learning and human development, the relationship between language and thinking and play understood as a phenomenon psychological.
One of the most important statements is that it indicated that intelligence developed through psychological tools that were in the child's environment. Being the language a fundamental tool.
I admire this referent of psychology, because it includes within its theories the sociocultural context of the individuals, reason why it was innovative for the theories that had in his time. In addition, he challenged the regime in which he lived (Soviet regime), prioritizing intellectual development.

When I was a child I wanted to be stewardess, because I found it entertaining what they were doing. I also liked the uniform they used. When I was 17 I took the PSU admission test to get into university, but I still did not decide which career to study, I had many options in mind, for example literature and letters, pedagogy in language, sociology, anthropology, but only humanist careers. Finally, when I learned the score I had achieved, I decided to study psychology at this university. My experience in the university up to now has been interesting, because I have learned a lot more than I thought I would learn, and every time I think I´ll find out more. I still do not I have decided I want to work when I graduate, but I like the area of juridical psychology, and especially the area of development psychology, for example, I would like to work in SENAME or in the school.
